Jobs was a fascinating man. I read John Sculley’s book and remember the Guy Amelio days. My first “Mac” was a PowerComputing clone.

I don’t know how Jobs could get away with treating folks the way he did—even being the kind of genius he was, though I bet that explains a lot of it.

My first "Mac" was an Amiga 3000 with Mac ROMS in software running Mac software faster than a 68030 Mac could run the same software, due to the Amiga's co-processors handling all the housekeeping and graphics duties that on the Mac had to be handled by the main 68030. I had lots of arguments with Mac Fanboys back then about what their Macs could and could not do. . . and hidden files they thought their Macs did not have, that I could easily see on my Amiga that their Macs kept hidden from them. LOL! That was one of the ways I learned everything there was to learn about Apple MacOS. . . using one with another OS, Amiga OS, giving me complete access under the hood.
